Hi Qasim,
Thanks for the reply and giving suggestions on the tesing scenarios.
I made another test as you suggested, however, the result still looked
positive. The following is a brief description of the settings.
Two pair of nodes are create. The first pair includes n0 and n01, and they
have a receiving range of 50m, CS range of 100m. They are placed at the
bottom of the topology (n0(0,0), n1(90,0)), with a distance of 90m. The
second pair includes n2 and n3, the receiving range is 100m, CS range is
200m. They are placed at the top of topology (n2(0,500), n3(90,500)), and
again, with a distance of 90m. The two pairs are far away from each other,
so they do not interfere.
At second 1.0, n0 starts to transmit a packet to n1, and n2 starts to
transmit a packet to n3 at the same time.
If ns2 always use the same transmission range for all nodes in a script, it
can only be the one of two cases in this test:
1) using 50m transmission range. In this case, both connectio will fail, and
no packet will be delivered to either n1 or n3;
2) using 100m transmission range. In this case, both connection will
success, and both n1 and n3 will receive a packet.
If ns2 uses two different transmission ranges, only the connection between
n2 and n3 will success, and the connection between n0 and n1 will fail.
Consequently, only n3 will receive a data packet.
After running test, I found out delivered packets by the following command:
awk '$1=="r" && /AGT/' out.tr
and it showed that only n3 received a packet. I am not sure if my settings
is the same as what you suggested, and I am not 100% confident that this
approach really works. But according to the test, it seems ns2 does support
different transmission ranges this way. Any comment is welcome.
